Not capitalizing "fahrenheit" is an extremely minor spelling mistake.
This commit fixes that.

Please at least follow guidelines for submitting patches, specifically

"Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
  instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
  to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
  its behaviour.
"
